GERMAN PAPERS EXCITED President Poincaire and His Cabinet Feel Confident They Can Prevent Trouble. By GEORGE DUFRESNE. Special Cable to. The American. PARIS, May 10.—The two frontier Incidents at Luneville and Nancy **hich were so cleverly taken advan tage of by certain elements in Ger many, quite close to the government, *n order to stir up the lagging en thusiasm for the army and navy ex penditures, seem to have purified the air and there is no tinge of dishar mony between the two nations. That this ts so is particularly duo tr- the tactful and dignified and at fhe wame time firm conduct of the* French Government and as long, at least, as the present cabinet remains in power everyone agrees that Prea- fcjent Poincaire may very well say “l'Etat e’est moi,” for he Is beyond a doubt head and shoulders above any of his present ministers, who willingly bow to his opinions. Proportional Strength. To the carefu] observer, the two ifluidents mentioned very plainly *(how the proportional strength of the two countries. Germany, which has* a keen feeling that hYaneo is the stronger, at least, temporarily, grow nervous and excited, while France, in the most calm and un concerned manner, disposed of the two accidents in accordance with the knowledge of her superior strength. At Luncville sho -‘d what anybody would have done In her po sition, she treated the German of ficers on board the Zeppelin with the utmost politeness, and simply asked them to give their word of honor that they had taken no photographs while passing above French frontier fortiflcaiions, while at the same time She used her opportunity of examin ing every detail of the “554” which hud j fallen into her hands. At Nancy, where excited French- ; men to a certain extent were t*> blame, she felt strong enough to a mit »he had been at fault before any I attempt of putting on pressure ori , the part of Germany. The same course was followed by j the French press, for while the papers J of Germany lost their heads entire ly, even a paper wit|i chauvinistic tendency's like “Le Matin” wrote: “French public opinion will not tol erate A foreigner being molested on French soil, merely because he is a German.” Had the conditions been the same as >hen “Napoleon Petit” ruled France and Prince Bismarck was all- powerful in Germany we ehould not have seen the two nations involved In war. Patriotism Strong. In France, patriotism, especially in the frontier towns, is very strong and dramatists have added fuel to the fire of hatred agaist Germany by such stirring plays as ‘‘Frita le Uh lan” and “Oaour de Francaise,” but s»o sure 1s President Poincaire of being able to keep down any^Jinti- German outbursts that although the Government at first intended to for bid performances of the latter play tn cities near the frontier the play was permitted everywhere, thou gif precautions were taken to prevent all demonstrations in all towns where they were apt to occyr. The play “Caeur do Francaiee/* is particularly dangerous It tells of an old French servant who invents something of the greatest importance to the {national defense, ale has shown kindness to a young man In great distress and gives him the run of the house.

The spectacle reminded me of nothing so much as the ima ginative pictures of Cleopatra sailing down the Nile to meet Mark Antony.” The Duchess of Vizeu is the daugh ter of Mrs. James Henry Smith, wid ow of “Silent” Smith. Ever since the announcement of her engagement to the Prince of Braganza, the report has been circulated that Mrs. Smith would finance the Prince lo an at tempt to ga*n the throne of Portu gal.

But if the Monistic Society of Berlin has its way, it will be harder still, and if a young couple are not able to con vince the medical authorities that they are likely to become the parents of healthy children, thev will have to go abroad to get married or stay single forever. The Monistic Society proves by of ficial statistics that not only is the birth rate in Germany rapidly de clining. out the proportions of weak- minded. crippled, diseased or puny babies born shows a steady increase. The only marriages which arc legal in this country are civic ones per formed before a special official, and the Monistic Society now asks the Reichstag to pass a law requiring those who intend to marry to pro duce a certificate signed by an ap proved physician, who shall report fully on the bodily conditions of each I of the parties, the certificate t~> state! expressly w hether either of the par- J ties is suffering from any ailment ’ which might tend to affect adversely the health of tne other party or that of the prospective children.

WAR THEIR SOLE DESIRE Patriotism Have No Part in Lives of Big Men Behind the Factories. Special Cable to The American. By PHILLIP EVERETT. LONDON, May 10 —The revelations recently made in Germany concern ing tlie existence of an international trust of armor and gun factories which used every possible means to c/eate a demand for the engines of destruction they manufacture, may have created almost as much of a sensation here as in Germany, for it is realized with a certain feeling of relief that everything in Germany is not in such ship-shape order as we have been used to believe. The English people are afraid, how'ever, that such things are not cor fined to Germany, Russia and France. Nations are paying a dreadful price for the cult of International hatred and there Is in England not only a political party always clamor ing for greater naval and military expenditures but also a press whose specialty is creating war wares. Paper* Not Above Suspicion. While not even the worst enemy of the Tory party in England would dream of accusing it of being in league with the great gun an armor factories here and abroad, there are right here in London papers that may not be above suspicion of being sub sidized by Krupp and the interna tional armor trust. It appears indeed as if at last one great European international trust might give points to its American colleagues not only in the efficiency of its methods but also in the evil crop that springs up from its dragon teeth, sown with skillful hands. The world has fortunately seen nothing like this trust before. Its trade is death, its profits lie in the murder of men in sapping whole nations of their strength for decades, its inter est in the cultivation of human hatred As one paper here puts it: “Per haps the most horrible feature of this new trust is the fact that while working by means of national hatreds, it is itself international. The world is horror struck by the idea of a German armament firm fed by French money, or of another arma ment firm deliberately inspiring the French pres*** to attack the country of its own birth. But one only has to turn over the pages of any big financial paper to discover that near ly all the great armament firms of England, as well as of Germany and France, are acting with entire in difference to patriotism of any kind. They are all alike engaged in the operation of arming all nations with the absolute Indifference against one another. As the nations wither and perish, so do the dividends of these armament firms rifle. During the years of panics, a ghastly increment of profit has swollen the prospectuses of thees companies, and sent a ghoul ish joy through their share-holders. "As a mosquito’s* body swells in size while it fills itself with your blood, so the shares of these gun and armor factories swell when there is a prospect that human blood will be shed.” Proof in Austria. For proofs of this we need not go back very many months. In De cember, 1912, when a war between Austria and Russia seemed imminent, it was announced that Shoda, the fa mous Austrian factory of arms, praised time and again for its patri otism. intended to put up a branch factory In Russia in order to supply the Czar's soldiers with guns to shoot Austrian soldiers down. About the middle of February new rumors*c of impending war caused the same factory’s shares to go up 30 per cent in one single hour on the Vienna stock exchange. And now a few weeks ago when the people of England had been scared into believing that they were imminent danger of an invasion of German airships, a scare probably engineered by agents of German manufacturers of dirigibles, the Ger man Government, one of the mo Ft autocratic in the world, found these same manufacturers laughing at it when it tried to forbid them to sell their dirigibles to England. With them trade does not follow the ttag. their flag on the contrary runs after trade. The armor and gun trust threatens to become more powerful than all the European Governments together and the power will be broken only when these Governments decide upon disarmaments all over and the sub mission of all international questions' to a Supreme Court of Arbitration at The Hague. The only difficulty in doing this will be to find a power willing to do the beginning. JACK MEGEE PROMISES TO FLY OVER ATLANTIC Special Cable to The American.

Street Car Run For Men's Profit Russians Manage Line, Bind In spector and Escape When Discovered. Special Cable to The American. ST. PETERSBURG, May 10.—A tramway car run on novel lines has lately been unearthed in this city. An inspector of the municipal tramway service noticed a very old-fashioned looking car plying for traffic in a lit tle frequented quarter of the city. He at once boarded the car and proceeded to examine the tickets of the passen gers. Observing that they bore num bers which could not possibly be cur rent on the company’s cars, he de manded an explanation of the con ductor. The latter thereupon stopped the car and told the passengers to get out, as it had broken down. As soon as they had left he and the driver at once bound and gagged the inspector and laid him on the floor inside the car. Then they drove to a lonely spot and decamped, leaving the inspector to cool his heels till further notice. In due time the official was discovered and released, and it was then found that the pair were running the car on their own account, at a good profit, and that they were not and never had been in the employ of the municipal tramways*.

Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, May 10.—Feminine Ger many is in tears of disappointment and chagrin. A Princess of the House of Hohenzollern if going to marry the man she loves, and no one knows what she will weal*. When, some time ago, U was an nounced that Print ess Victoria Lou ise, the only daughter of the Kaiser, would wed the Prince Ernst August of Cumoerland, all Germany was agog over the news. It w r as a “match be tween children of the houses of ene mies. But that surprise lasted two years. The wonder switched and became ex clusively feminine. “What will she wear?” was the speculation. And then came the mandate of the Kaiserin. No one shall know. Strict secrecy will be preserved in regard to the arrangement for the wedding. By command of the royal parents, the bride’s trousseau has been divided for manufacture among a nurhber of well-known firms, each of which pladged itself to maintain secrecy in the slightest details. As a sop to the insatiable curiosity of Germany, a few details have leaked out. The lingerie to be worn by the royal bride will be chiefly of fine batiste, hand-embroidered anl characterized by the quiet elegance that is the mark of the Kaiserin’s taste. The fine needlework involved in the task was entrusted by her to a 'number of impoverished jioble- w r omen. who will emebllish particu larly. the bridal veil. This is of point applique, and is being made by the lacemakers at one of the Gov ernment schools of ai ts and crafts in 941esia. Dress on Exhibition. The wedding dress, veil and court train may be put on exhibition after the wedding in the Kung?tegew r erbe Museum, in Berlin. The wedding will take place May 24. It is really a royal love match. Day by day more details are learned of how the two lovers fought parent al objection, with a faithfulness as invincible as that of Paul and Vir ginia, and of how they obtained the sanction of the Kaiser to the match. The whole trouble hinged on the fact that the Kaiser and his daugh ter are Hohenzollerns, and that Cum berland is a Guelph. The two fam ilies hove hated each other for years, with the hatred of feudal foes. But the blind little god blind indeed. Tne proud Kaiser Wilhelm stormed and swore when he heard of the plight of his daughter’s heart. The old Duke of Cumberland was fu rious, when he learned that his son had done the plebeian and pusillani mous deed of falling in love. Ernst August was not even the eldest son. And Victoria Louise was the only daughter of the most pow erful family in European royalty. The affair was impossible. But the Princess Victoria Louise was very much in love, and the fath er’s heart that is the Kaiser’s was touched. Then, when the eldest son of the Duke ofc.Cumberland was killed in an automobile accident, the way became smoother. The Emperor de cided to sanction the union. Because he is the Emperor. the marriage would have been celebrated even If the old Duke of Cumberland still refused to lend a friendly ear. But the old Duke o>f Cumberland saw fit to acquiesce, and the stony places in the path of royal love disappeared. The wedding date was set. Little Ranctr Still. Still there is a litle rancor smolder ing in the heart of the Kaiser. It is not evident in his attitude toward his daughter nor toward her be trothed. But his own son, who brought the two together in persona non grata in the royal household With the story of the romance of Hohenzollern and Cumberland, the details of the disgrace of the Crown Prince of Germany leaked out. Two years* ago. the story has it. the Crown Prince was staying in Colertna, t a great winter resort ir* Switzerland. It had been arranged that his sister, the Princess Victoria Louise, was to stay with him there, and as usual, the Emperor first in quired of his son if there was any one at Colerina whom the young Prin cess ought not to meet. The Prince replied that all was well. He did nof mention the presence of the handsome and popular "Count of Cal- lenberg,” with whom the young Princess proceeded to fall desperate ly in love, ignorant of the fact that the Count was Prince Ernst of Cum berland. In Berlin afterward the truth was told. The Emperor was furious at the Crown Prince for being J the cause of the introduction. The Prince was banished to Dantzig. But Victoria Louise remained very much in love, and affairs were not mended, until the sanction of the Em-1 peror was given. The marriage is to take place May | 24. and after the honeymoon, which may be passed in Austria, the young couple will take up their abbde in the somewhat squalid Prussian pro vincial town of Rathenau. GROUND CHS IN, LIKE IS FORMED Strange Phenomenon Occurred in Westphalia—Further Sub sidence Is Feared. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN. May 10.—A thickly wood ed tract of land about 15 acres in extent has sunk in Westphalia, Ger many. and the hollow thus caused has been filled by water, forming a huge lake, above the surface of which the tree tops are barely visi ble. Shortly before the subsidence there were subterranean noises suggestive of an earthquake. From the upstand ing sides of perpendicular fissures cascades of water poured down into the strangely formed lake, and springs in the surrounding hills form ed a deep river which is overflowing the adjacent lands. The water in the new' basin, however, appears to have some subterranean outlet, as the surface level remains constant. Geologists have warned the inhab itants that danger of further -subsi dence exists. A quaint legend attaches to this vanished ground. According to the old tale, a convent stood on this wooded heath some centuries ago, and one night this building was sud denly swallowed up in subsidence which was followed by the formation of a lake, to which was given the name of "The Holy Lake.” Grad ually the water dried up and finally disappeared, but even when the lake no longer .-existed the ground still bore the name of “The Holy Lake.” Now this lake has reappeared. KAISER GREATLY El German Emperor Suffered Deeply When Socialist Exposure Was Made. GOOD MAY RESULT YET Government May Take Manufac ture of Armament Into Own Hands Now. E IS SBLEjMB Sir A. Conan Doyle Proves to Be Good Cross-Examiner Dur ing Law Case, By FREDERICK WERNER. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, May 10.—It is Impossible not to sympathize with the Kaiser during the present Krupp scandals, which everyone knows are far worse than even the socialistic papers have found it wise to make public. With all his shortcomings there is In all Germany no more sympa thetic or straightforward man than tlie Kaiser, whose chief fault is his impulsiveness. No man is more sen sitive as to German honor, no man has done more to keep Germany’s es- chutcheon spotless and the revela tions made by Dr. Liebknecht, son of the famous Socialist leader in the Reichstag, have spoiled the joy with which the Kaiser looked forward first to the wedding of his daughter, which marks the ending of the long feud between the Guelphs and the Hohenzollerns, and also to his forth coming jubilee In June. # It w'ould be hard to imagine a hard er blow to the Kaiser than the indis putable fact that the House of Krupp. whose founder he personally be friend, and whose members he has honored at all occasions, have thrown disgrace on the fair name which Germans have always had in all their business dealings, to a man like the Kaiser who is first of all a sincere and enthusiastic patriot, crimes such as these of which the Krupps stand convicted in the eyes of the world, in spite of the War Minister’s first faint attempt to cover them up. are beyond the Kaiser’s understanding, and in his inmost heart he knows that Dr. Liebnecht spoke the truth when he said that this w as Germany’s Panama scandal, which surpasses that of France, . because of the in credible callousness and perfidy of the prominent German capitalists, who planned to provoke a world war that their own business might flour ish. To a great many people in Ger many it begins to dawn that good may still come from the Krupp scan dal*. They will give the word ^pa triotism” a new scene, since the peo ple who have hitherto posed as the greatest patriots now stand revealed as swindlers and money grabbers without the trace of feeling of con science.

LONDON, May 10.—The creator of “Sherlock Holmes” proved himself a very able cross-examiner in the Mark Cross Police Court recently, where he was summoned for not keeping a dangerous dog under control. Like Sam Weller, he set up the defense of an alibi and was so suc cessful that the bench stopped the case with the observation that it was a clear case of mistaken identity.

Conan said he was quite willing to pay compensation if it was his dog that attacked the sheep and gave witness 52.50. Sir A. Conan Doyle: In this con versation at my house, I said it was not my dog?—Yes. So in giving you the $2.50 I in no way made any admission that it was my dog ?—Oh no! I said if any neighbor of mine is in difficulties, J always like to help him. and you have lost a sheep, so I like to help you to this extent?—Yes. It was not likely I should have asked you to shoot at the dog if I thought it was mine?—No. Evidence was then called proving that the offending dog was not Sir A. Conan Doyle’s.
